After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Nets 118-108. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
