After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Warriors 137-81. Rockets' offense had its way with the Warriors. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
