After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets squeaked past the Wizards 124-123. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
