After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Warriors 117-101. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
