After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Wizards 137-126. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
