After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Wizards 116-96. Rockets torched the Wizards on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
