After Action Report

The 76ers snuck past the Lakers 129-128 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
