After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the Rockets blew the doors off the 76ers 109-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
