After Action Report
The 76ers snuck past the Hornets 97-92. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
