After Action Report
The Warriors blew the doors off the Rockets 123-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Warriors stayed locked in; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
