After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Knicks 99-87. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
