After Action Report
The 76ers squeaked past the Rockets 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
