After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Pistons 113-106. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
