After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Kings 117-91. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
