After Action Report
The Warriors buried the Rockets 111-89. Warriors torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
