After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Grizzlies 132-117. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Grizzlies looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
