After Action Report

The 76ers survived the Rockets 96-92. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. 76ers' outside barrage was a constant threat; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. The 76ers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 76ers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
