After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers upended the Trail Blazers 132-117. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
