After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Nuggets 111-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
