After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 124-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
