After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Hawks 112-103. Rockets torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
