After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Warriors 129-114. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
