After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers held off the Timberwolves 122-115. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 76ers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
