After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Warriors 124-112. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
