After Action Report
The Wizards survived the Rockets 97-93. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Wizards. The Wizards ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Wizards locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
