After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Rockets survived the Hawks 132-128. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
