After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Bucks 117-114. The tempo dragged the Bucks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
