After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Wizards 111-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
