After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Cavaliers 128-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
