After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Nuggets 118-75. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
