After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Rockets outlasted the Cavaliers 119-100. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
