After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Pacers 123-115. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
