After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Wizards 108-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
