After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Rockets squeaked past the 76ers 104-99. Rockets' offense had its way with the 76ers. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
