After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Nuggets 123-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
