After Action Report
In Houston, the Warriors downed the Rockets 101-82. Warriors torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
