After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Pistons 113-109. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
