After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Hawks 109-106. Rockets torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
