After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the 76ers 140-109. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
