After Action Report

The Rockets survived the SuperSonics 120-116. Rockets' offense had its way with the SuperSonics. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's SuperSonics utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
