After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Wizards 126-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
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.
