After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Bobcats 115-88. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
