After Action Report
The 76ers blew the doors off the Suns 132-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
