After Action Report
The 76ers outlasted the Nuggets 118-112. 76ers' starting five clicked while the Nuggets looked disjointed. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
