After Action Report

The Nets snuck past the 76ers 104-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nets 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
