After Action Report

The 76ers pulled away from the Timberwolves 113-103. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
