After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Warriors 107-86. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
