After Action Report
The 76ers downed the Heat 103-84. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
