After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Grizzlies 125-124. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
