After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers held off the Rockets 116-108. Every possession went the 76ers way. The 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers steamroller is in full effect right now. The 76ers locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
