After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Pistons 89-84. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
