After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Nuggets 117-109. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
