After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Grizzlies 98-94. Rockets torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
