After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Grizzlies 126-116. Rockets torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Grizzlies rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
