After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the SuperSonics 119-114. Rockets torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
