After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 139-100. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
