After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Bobcats 133-102. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Bobcats · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
