After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Bucks 100-89. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
