After Action Report

The 76ers downed the Kings 130-120. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The 76ers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
