After Action Report

The 76ers fended off the Bulls 131-123. The Bulls had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
