After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets buried the SuperSonics 125-98. The tempo dragged the SuperSonics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
