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.
