After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Warriors 120-116. Rockets' offense had its way with the Warriors. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
