After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Hawks 120-107. 76ers torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
