After Action Report

The Rockets fended off the Bobcats 103-97. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
