After Action Report

In New York, the 76ers blew the doors off the Knicks 117-95. 76ers torched the Knicks on the offensive end. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
