After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Grizzlies 91-88. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
