After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 130-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
