After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the 76ers 125-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
