After Action Report
In a track meet, the 76ers ran roughshod over the Hornets 135-89. The breakneck pace played right into 76ers' hands. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the 76ers stayed locked in. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
