After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Bobcats 124-108. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
