After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Knicks 126-100. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
