After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Nets 107-90. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
