After Action Report
The Hawks snuck past the Rockets 119-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
