After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Nuggets 119-107 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
