After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the Rockets demolished the 76ers 128-106. Rockets torched the 76ers on the offensive end. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; 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. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
