After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Grizzlies 118-115. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
