After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Knicks 112-81. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
