After Action Report

The 76ers demolished the Mavericks 127-96. 76ers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. 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.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
