After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 149-85. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
