After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Grizzlies 109-108. The Grizzlies couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
