After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Nuggets 122-78. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
