After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Rockets 90-80. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
