After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers survived the Grizzlies 133-132. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
