After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Rockets 113-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
