After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets buried the Pacers 112-84. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
