After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the SuperSonics 95-89. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the SuperSonics. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
