Summary
The Houston Rockets beat the Philadelphia 76ers 122-115 in overtime. The Rockets went from a late collapse to a dominant finish. Alperen Şengün went from poor four quarters to a sensational overtime.
Dillon Brooks missed all 11 of his shots, eight from distance. The biggest blunder came in the final seconds when forward Brooks fouled the 76ers’ remaining star Tyrese Maxey.
Rockets guard Fred VanVleet pantomimed looking at a watch and said, “Thanks for showing up at 9:30’
“My teammates just trusted me in overtime, and I didn’t want to fail them,” Şengün said. “At the end of the game, I did what I did. We won.”
