After Action Report
The Rockets buried the SuperSonics 116-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
