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.
