After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Rockets 109-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
