After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the 76ers 106-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
