Undermanned Rockets fall 135-115 to Sixers after excellent Philly second half

The Houston Rockets couldn’t stand Philadelphia’s second-half barrage, as they fall 135-115 to the 76ers on Wednesday night.

The Rockets had little defensive resistance for the Sixers offense in the first quarter.

To open the game, Philadelphia shot a blistering 5-of-7 from three, 6-6 from the free-throw line, and a total of 14-25 from the field.

Even though Philly scorched Houston for 39 first-quarter points, the Rockets scored 30 of their own to keep the game interesting after just 12 minutes.

Kelly Olynyk led the way for Houston in scoring with seven points, three rebounds, two assists, and a block.
