After Action Report

In Atlanta, the 76ers squeaked past the Hawks 108-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
