After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Warriors 105-99. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
