After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Nuggets 103-99. Rockets torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
