After Action Report
The 76ers took care of the Pacers 99-86. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
