After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 121-95. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
