After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the 76ers 97-94. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The 76ers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
