After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets downed the Pacers 135-122. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
