The Nets blew the doors off the Rockets 120-97. Nets torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
