After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Nets 113-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it
