After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Suns 129-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
