After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Pacers 131-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
