After Action Report

The 76ers handled the Nets 109-99. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
