After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Trail Blazers 133-121. Rockets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
