After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Wizards 116-79. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
