After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Wizards 102-75. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
