After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the 76ers 97-90. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
