After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets stunned the Hawks 118-115. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
