After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Cavaliers 109-102. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers steamroller is in full effect right now. Rockets' 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.
- Cavaliers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
