After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Nuggets 106-99. Rockets' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
