After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Hawks 121-98. 76ers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The 76ers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
