After Action Report
The Rockets stunned the Hawks 122-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
