After Action Report

The 76ers squeaked past the Pacers 126-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers steamroller is in full effect right now. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
