After Action Report

The 76ers rolled past the Hawks 125-98. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
