After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets buried the Wizards 132-95. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Wizards lately. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
