After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Nets 107-86. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
