After Action Report
The 76ers outlasted the Cavaliers 98-86. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
