After Action Report
The Rockets stunned the Grizzlies 112-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. An upset for the books.
