The Rockets demolished the Cavaliers 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
