After Action Report

The Rockets buried the Bobcats 117-90. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; shots just aren't falling for the Bobcats lately. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
