After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Nets 122-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
