After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Jazz 133-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. 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.
