After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets squeaked past the Bucks 108-103. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Bucks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bucks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
