After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets survived the Heat 118-115. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
