After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Nets 116-104. Rockets' offense had its way with the Nets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
