After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the 76ers 113-89. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
