After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Nuggets 89-80. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
