After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets downed the Pistons 114-101. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
