After Action Report
The Rockets upended the Hawks 103-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. An upset for the books.

- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
