After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Nets 102-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets are in a full-on tailspin; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
