After Action Report

The Rockets buried the Cavaliers 136-99. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
