After Action Report

In a track meet, the 76ers survived the Rockets 130-126. The 76ers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The 76ers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The 76ers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the 76ers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
