After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Pistons 131-100. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
