I can’t say I had the highest of hopes for a 76ers win tonight against the Houston Rockets. Sure, it’s the home of Chamillionaire which means it’s a magical land, but the Rockets have a guy in James Harden who started the season putting up monster numbers and the Sixers don’t posses anybody who can effectively guard him. This was evident early and often as the Rockets cruised to a 115-88 win.
Thanks to the first quarter effort from Harden, the Rockets went on an offensive tear to start the game and never let the margin get close after that.
