After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Hornets held off the 76ers 111-105. Lineup balance gave the Hornets a clear synergy edge. The Hornets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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.
  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
