After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Grizzlies 103-98. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
