After Action Report

The Rockets buried the Raptors 129-102. Rockets' offense had its way with the Raptors. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
