After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Rockets outlasted the Bucks 107-92. Rockets' offense had its way with the Bucks. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bucks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
