After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Warriors 117-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
