After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Rockets 111-97. Hawks torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
