After Action Report
The Rockets stunned the Knicks 94-90. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
