After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Nuggets 118-95. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
