After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Pacers 103-76. Rockets torched the Pacers on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
