After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Rockets rolled past the Cavaliers 115-95. Rockets torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
