After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Pistons 113-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

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.
  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
