After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Warriors 122-95. The Warriors had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
