After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Grizzlies 123-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
