After Action Report
The Rockets buried the 76ers 117-87. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the 76ers lately; 76ers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's 76ers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
