After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Knicks outlasted the 76ers 116-97. Knicks' offense had its way with the 76ers. The Knicks couldn't shake the cold spell; Knicks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
