After Action Report
The Rockets knocked off the Bobcats 117-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
