After Action Report

The 76ers squeaked past the Hornets 105-103. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
