After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Raptors 110-106. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Raptors answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
