After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets edged the 76ers 104-95. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; shots just aren't falling for the 76ers lately. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
