After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Lakers 109-79. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
