At the beginning of the first quarter, Van Jordan hit two three-pointers in a row from the outside, and his brother-in-law also made a shot, the Rockets took an 8-0 lead, and the 76ers broke the deadlock with free throws, and after scoring 4 points, Jalen Green broke through and scored 5 points in a row with three points, and the 13-4 point difference was stretched to 9 points. The 76ers chased five points in a row, but Van Jordan hit another three-pointer by covering it, and the game entered the first timeout of the 16-9 game. Not long after the timeout came back, after Philadelphia chased 13-16, Melton was a little injured, and Nurse took the initiative to call a timeout. Back in the game, the two teams fell into a hard tug-of-war back and forth, and the score alternately rose. Udoka used a mixed lineup late in the first quarter to give the Rockets a six-point lead at 32-26 at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter, the two sides rotated the lineup, Maxey led the team, and Shen Jing, old brother-in-law, and Van Jordan also returned, with Amen and Ethan. In this quarter, Maxey carried the 76ers offense alone, playing by himself in almost every round, and his scoring ability was really strong. But the whole team on the Rockets' side blossomed more, Van Jordan's outside three-point continued, Shen Jing snatched the ball back and scored under the basket, the Rockets still led by 7 points at 46-39, Harris attacked and waved his arm to Van Vleet's chin was whistled for an offensive foul, and the game entered a timeout. After a timeout, Jalen Green came back, Harris scored five straight points, and then a fast-break assist Oubre scored under the basket, 46-48 Udoka called a timeout. Back in the game, the Rockets quickly stabilized the situation, and Green hit a three-pointer to regain the lead to five points, but Shin Jing received three fouls. Van Jordan continued to attack the basket to make fouls and stand on the free throw line, Maxey continued to bombard, 2+1 and then chased to 60 after the game, Oubre made two free throws and two hits to overtake, Jalen Green immediately responded with three points, and the Rockets led by one point at halftime 63-62.
In the second half, Shen Jing and Jalen Green teamed up to stretch the difference to 5 points, and the 76ers still relied on Maxey's personal ability, Jalen Green broke through and hit again, Van Jordan arced up and down with a three-point shot, and the Rockets led by 10 points at 78-68 to stop the opponent. But after the timeout, the success rate of the Rockets' offense dropped seriously, Maxey counterattacked and was pulled down by Tate, and the referee gave a first-degree malicious foul through a review. Maxey hit two free throws, Oubre hit a three-point shot to chase 1 point, but Shen Jing and Van Jordan stood up and scored 8 points in a row to stabilize the situation, Melton hit a three-point shot, Green assisted Shen Jing to dunk, Harris hit hard, and the two teams had a very exciting offensive battle, and it was suspended again after 92-86. A three-pointer from Van Jordan and a fast-break from Eason put the Rockets back in double digits, with the 76ers trailing by seven points at 90-97 at the end of the third quarter.
The old brother-in-law was whistled for a foul in the early part of the final quarter, Udoka directly challenged successfully, Holiday was whistled for consecutive fouls, and Jalen Green came back.

But Melton chased two points with three points in the bottom corner, Harris tied it with a single basket, and Shin Kyung came back. Eason made a steal and passed to Van Jordan to make a foul free throw, and the Rockets finally broke the scoring drought. But the 76ers' offense was reasonable, Morris hit a three-point shot from the bottom corner to lead by 2 points, and Green chased back a three-point shot, but Harris chased a three-point shot to stop the Rockets. Back to the game, the two sides entered the final showdown, Maxi was completely crazy, and the outside three-pointers and 2+0 were scored in a row, but the Rockets also made 4 consecutive fouls and 4 free throws to overtake 1 point and entered a timeout.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Beverley and Morris became wonder soldiers, and Brother Dog's 5 points and Da Mo's 3+1 almost killed the game. But Jalen Green refused to give up, scoring five points in a row with a three-pointer and a layup, and Melton took a three-point lead after hitting two free throws. The Rockets attacked Green in the last game and passed to Landale, but he actually made a layup to bury the Rockets with two points.
In the end, the Rockets lost to the 76ers 127-131 and suffered three consecutive defeats
Van Vleet scored again and grabbed the ball in this game.
In the first half, he had a good outside three-point shot, playing 18 minutes, shooting 5-of-10, 4-of-6 three-pointers, and 3-of-4 free throws to score 17 points, 1 rebound, and 6 assists, with a plus/minus of +2.
In the third quarter, Lao Fan's outside three-point touch continued, and he made three more three-pointers and handed out three assists in a single quarter to help the team extend its lead.
It's a pity that he failed to save the game in the final moment of the fourth quarter, making 9 of 16 from the field, 8 of 12 from three-point range, and 7 of 8 from the free throw line, contributing 33 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.
Jalen Green made 6 three-pointers in the last game, and today he continued to recover in the face of the 76ers, played very reasonably, and also seized the opportunity to shoot in the open position.
He played 16 minutes in the first half, shooting 5-of-9 (3-of-5 from three-point range) and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 14 points, two rebounds and two assists.
In the third quarter, he didn't shoot wildly from the outside, but kept breaking through and scoring under the basket, once scoring 6 points in a row. In the fourth quarter, Jalen Green first hit a layup with a pass under the basket, then broke through to make a foul free throw, hit a three-pointer, and assisted Shen Jing to dunk under the basket.
In the last minute of the final quarter, he stepped up and scored 5 points in a row to continue his life, but the last attack was buried by his teammates.
In the game, he played 36 minutes, shooting 12-of-19 from the field, 5-of-9 from three-point range, and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 31 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Embiid continues to be sidelined, and Maxey has unlimited rights.
76ers player Maxey played 21 and a half minutes, shooting 9-of-18 from the field, 1-of-6 from three-point range and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line to finish with 27 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. In the second quarter, he scored 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting in a single quarter, and his 27 points also tied his personal halftime scoring record.
In the second half, he was not on fire, and in the third quarter, he played 12 minutes and scored 8 points. He scored seven more points in the final quarter and played 41 minutes in the game, shooting 13-of-26 from the field, 2-of-9 from three-point range, and 14-of-15 from the free-throw line, with 42 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
As the absolute core of the Rockets now, without Embiid, Shen Jing can be called a dimensionality reduction blow on the inside.
In the first half, he was in foul trouble and only had 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. But at the beginning of the third quarter, he completely broke out on the offensive end, contributing 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter, especially when the 76ers chased 1 point, he scored consecutive points to stabilize the situation and reopen the difference.
As soon as he came back in the last quarter, the offensive threat was great, but unfortunately he was unable to return to the sky. In the whole game, Shen Jing was 12 of 16, and efficiently contributed 28 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists.
