After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Nuggets 119-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
