After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Warriors 98-97. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke.

What tipped it

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
