After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Nuggets 128-105. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
