After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Grizzlies 113-109. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
