After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets fended off the Wizards 104-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
