After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Warriors 122-114. 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; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
