After Action Report
The Nets demolished the Rockets 119-95. Nets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
