Sixers face the Rockets at home to start 2022

The Philadelphia 76ers won their final three games of 2021, and they’ll look to keep the good vibes going into 2022 as they play host to the Houston Rockets. For a change, the Sixers are not the most dramatic team on the court, after the Rockets had a locker room blow-up on Saturday. Assistant coach John Lucas called out Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood’s effort level during halftime. Taking offense, Porter Jr. left the arena, and Wood refused to go into the game in the second half. Unsurprisingly, Houston lost to Denver, 124-111, falling to a Western Conference-worst 10-27 on the season.
