After Action Report
In Houston, the Nets demolished the Rockets 132-112. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
