After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Nuggets 128-95. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
