After Action Report
The 76ers pulled away from the Trail Blazers 123-113. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
