After Action Report
The Nets handled the Rockets 129-118 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
