After Action Report

In New Jersey, the 76ers edged the Nets 129-120. 76ers' offense had its way with the Nets. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
