After Action Report

The Bobcats squeaked past the Rockets 122-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. Bobcats' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

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.
