After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets held off the Hawks 118-109. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
