After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Nets 107-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
