After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Hawks 87-84. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell; the 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
