At Monday's half, Jalen Green had 5 points and 4 assists while making only 2-of-11 shots (18.2%) and missing all six of his 3-point attempts. As a massive favorite going in, the Rockets trailed the lowly Philadelphia 76ers — who entered with just three wins in their last 18 games — by 21 points at halftime.

Houston struggled to maintain Sixers guard Quentin Grimes, who scored a career-high 46 points, but still claimed its seventh straight win.
