After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Cavaliers 117-91. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
