After Action Report

The 76ers held off the Kings 106-98. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
