After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Cavaliers 109-97. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
