Rockets won 132-123 in double overtime in the teams' first meeting this season.
PHILADELPHIA — As if there were a need for another example of the vast difference between the seasons of the Rockets and 76ers, the final split seconds of their most recent games brought vivid, stunning reminders.
The Sixers, fortified at the trade deadline by the addition of Jalen McDaniels, are a championship contender, while the Rockets dealt Eric Gordon as they careen toward the best lottery odds possible.. But the Rockets are just 5-23 on the road, having lost 10 of their last 11 away from home. They have lost their past three games in Philadelphia, where the 76ers are 21-8.
With the Sixers, he has looked to be a playmaker before a scorer and has not come close to his scoring with the Rockets, averaging 22.5 points per game, his fewest since he was a sixth man with the Oklahoma City Thunder. But he leads the NBA in assists, averaging 10.8 per game, his most since he averaged 11.2 with the Rockets in 2016-17.
Sengun might like those matchups because it frees him from the sort of double-teams he has seen lately. The Sixers do not send Embiid help inside. Even the Heat, with one of the best defensive centers in the league to anchor their defense in Bam Adebayo, kept Sengun surrounded, and he made just three of nine shots with four turnovers.
