After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Pacers 109-92. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
