After Action Report
In Houston, the Hawks survived the Rockets 120-116 in overtime. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
