After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Grizzlies 106-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
