After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets took care of the Nets 118-108. Rockets' offense had its way with the Nets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
