After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Nets 103-99 in overtime. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' 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.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
