After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Wizards 99-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
