After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Nuggets 104-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
