After Action Report

The Rockets demolished the Raptors 132-97. The Raptors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
