After Action Report

The 76ers blew the doors off the Rockets 116-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the 76ers cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the 76ers; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. 76ers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 76ers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
