After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Rockets survived the Bobcats 118-116. Rockets' offense had its way with the Bobcats. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
