After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers snuck past the Pacers 116-115. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
