After Action Report
The Warriors buried the Rockets 101-77. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
