After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Heat 107-103. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
