After Action Report
In New York, the Rockets snuck past the Knicks 118-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
