After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Cavaliers 98-89. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
