After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Warriors 116-94. The tempo dragged the Warriors into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
