After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Cavaliers 127-103. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
