After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the 76ers 115-80. Rockets torched the 76ers on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
