After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Bobcats 129-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets are in a full-on tailspin; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
