After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Raptors 110-97. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Raptors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
