After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Nets 134-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
