After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Nuggets 114-93. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
