What tipped it

  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
