After Action Report

The Rockets demolished the Pistons 118-96. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
