After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets squeaked past the Bobcats 104-99. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Bobcats utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
