After Action Report

The Warriors ran roughshod over the Rockets 121-100. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
