After Action Report
The Rockets knocked off the Hawks 105-95. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
