After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Knicks 120-104. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Knicks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
