After Action Report

In San Antonio, the 76ers upended the Spurs 101-99. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
