After Action Report

The Nets blew the doors off the Rockets 114-91. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
