After Action Report
The Bobcats demolished the Rockets 129-106. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
