After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Cavaliers 132-96. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
