After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers survived the Lakers 106-103. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

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