After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Bucks 114-110. The Bucks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
  • Bucks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
