After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers pulled away from the Timberwolves 103-87. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
