After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers snuck past the Hawks 117-113. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the 76ers lately; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it
