After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Nets 112-77. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
