After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets blew the doors off the SuperSonics 132-98. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
