After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers survived the Magic 98-95. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
