After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Hawks 103-91. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
