After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Rockets rolled past the Nets 117-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · 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.
