After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Hawks 144-107. Rockets' offense had its way with the Hawks. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
