After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets upended the Nets 119-110. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
