After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Pistons 101-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
