After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Nuggets 98-96. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Style points be damned.
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.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
