After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Wizards 122-98. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
