After Action Report

In Golden State, the Rockets buried the Warriors 144-114. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · 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.
