After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Rockets outlasted the Cavaliers 102-96. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
