After Action Report
In Indiana, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Pacers 100-75. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
