After Action Report
In Houston, the Raptors fended off the Rockets 107-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Raptors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
