After Action Report
The 76ers handled the Rockets 99-89. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
