Locked On Sixers

Despite a career night from Quentin Grimes and as much as a 25-point lead, the Philadelphia 76ers loss to the Houston Rockets 144-137 in overtime Monday night. Grimes and company built a 78-57 lead by the end of the first half, but watched all that slip away as they were outscore by 21pts in the 3rd quarter.   The Sixers fought back in the 4th quarter opening the frame with a 10-0 run, but the Rockets would not go away. With 3:52 left in regulation the Sixers found themselves up by 10 again, but again they would blow it.   The final nail in the coffin came with Philly leading by 3 points with :09 remaining. Grimes, the hero for most of the night committed a costly turnover that led to a 3-point Rockets play to tie the game. Jalen Hood-Schifino got a great look at a would-be game-winner, but his shot was just off as the buzzer sounded.   In overtime, the Rockets out scored the Sixers 13-6.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
