After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Hawks 105-99. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
