After Action Report

The Rockets shocked the SuperSonics 128-127. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. SuperSonics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the SuperSonics. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it
