After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Bobcats 116-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Bobcats' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
