After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers squeaked past the Mavericks 116-112. 76ers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
