After Action Report

The 76ers squeaked past the Lakers 117-116. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
