After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Warriors 129-105. Rockets torched the Warriors on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
