After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets downed the Hawks 103-91. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
