After Action Report

The 76ers fended off the Timberwolves 118-112. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
