After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets upended the Raptors 108-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
