After Action Report
In Golden State, the Rockets snuck past the Warriors 88-85. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
