After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Nuggets 117-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
