After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers took care of the Rockets 118-99. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
