After Action Report

The Bobcats buried the Rockets 133-107. Bobcats controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
