After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the SuperSonics 100-98. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- SuperSonics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
