After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Wizards 145-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' 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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
