After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Warriors 122-95. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
