After Action Report
The 76ers rolled past the Cavaliers 100-80. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
