After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets blew the doors off the Grizzlies 126-88. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
