After Action Report
The 76ers held off the Pacers 113-107. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
