After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers handled the Knicks 98-86. 76ers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 76ers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Knicks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
