After Action Report
In Houston, the Nuggets survived the Rockets 125-121. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
