After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets fended off the Hawks 98-92. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
