After Action Report
In Golden State, the Rockets squeaked past the Warriors 99-95. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
