After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Warriors 93-87. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
