After Action Report
The 76ers held off the Rockets 104-98. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 76ers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
