After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 111-82. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
