After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Nets 122-111. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
