After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the SuperSonics 134-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
