After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 121-94. The SuperSonics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
