After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Pacers 107-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
