After Action Report

The 76ers pulled away from the Kings 112-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
