After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Pacers 126-79. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
