After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Bobcats 101-79. The Bobcats couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
