After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Grizzlies 155-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
