After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Knicks 126-97. Rockets' offense had its way with the Knicks. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
