After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the SuperSonics 129-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
