After Action Report
The Warriors survived the Rockets 108-105. Warriors torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
