After Action Report
In Golden State, the Rockets buried the Warriors 131-97. Rockets torched the Warriors on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
