After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Pistons 114-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
