After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Bobcats 111-90. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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.
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
