After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets edged the Nuggets 112-105. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
