After Action Report
In Houston, the Grizzlies ran roughshod over the Rockets 104-78. Grizzlies' scorers couldn't be contained. The Grizzlies bent the defense out of shape from deep; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
