After Action Report
In Houston, the Pistons buried the Rockets 119-99. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
