After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets held off the Nets 112-103. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
