After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Pacers 116-92. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
