After Action Report

The Rockets edged the 76ers 100-92. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
