After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Lakers 127-89. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
