After Action Report
The Rockets upended the Wizards 113-112. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
