After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets blew the doors off the Nets 123-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
