After Action Report
In Houston, the Wizards blew the doors off the Rockets 112-88. Wizards' offense had its way with the Rockets. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Wizards; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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.
- Wizards · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
