After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the 76ers 120-91. Rockets torched the 76ers on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
