After Action Report

The 76ers rolled past the Hornets 122-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
