After Action Report

The 76ers held off the Pacers 133-127. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
