After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Rockets 116-86. Pacers torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
