After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Bobcats 126-104. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

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.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
