After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Warriors 130-105. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
