After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Bucks 100-97. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Bucks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Bucks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Bucks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
