After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Pistons 144-102. Rockets' offense had its way with the Pistons. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
