After Action Report
The 76ers pulled away from the Knicks 97-85. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
