After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Warriors 138-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
