After Action Report

The 76ers outlasted the Rockets 127-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the 76ers; 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
