After Action Report

The Bobcats buried the Rockets 116-88. The Bobcats got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
