After Action Report
In Houston, the Hawks buried the Rockets 133-113. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Rockets' 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
