After Action Report
In Houston, the Wizards survived the Rockets 110-105. Wizards controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Wizards' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
