After Action Report

The 76ers rolled past the Lakers 120-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
