After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets upended the Pacers 133-125. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
