After Action Report

The 76ers upended the Nets 106-104. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
