After Action Report
The 76ers ran roughshod over the Rockets 143-106. 76ers' offense had its way with the Rockets. 76ers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
