After Action Report
The 76ers survived the Rockets 104-99. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. The 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 76ers · 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.
- 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.
