After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Wizards 116-112. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
