After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Bobcats 104-95. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Bobcats' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
