After Action Report
In Houston, the 76ers outlasted the Rockets 131-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
