After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers rolled past the Rockets 102-70. The 76ers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 76ers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
