After Action Report

In Orlando, the 76ers squeaked past the Magic 97-93. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
