After Action Report

The Rockets fended off the Grizzlies 119-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Grizzlies 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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
