After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Nuggets 132-98. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
