After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Raptors 113-105. Rockets' offense had its way with the Raptors. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
