After Action Report
In Washington, the Rockets squeaked past the Wizards 110-108. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
