After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Trail Blazers buried the 76ers 125-105. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the 76ers. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
