After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Hawks 105-83. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
