After Action Report
The Nets ran roughshod over the Rockets 129-105. The Nets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
