After Action Report

What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
