After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Hawks 98-97. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
