After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Cavaliers 110-108. Rockets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
