After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Rockets survived the Bucks 120-119 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
