After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the 76ers 96-95. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
