After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets pulled away from the 76ers 105-89. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
