After Action Report
The Wizards outlasted the Rockets 117-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
