After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Nuggets 129-96. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
