After Action Report
In Seattle, the Rockets rolled past the SuperSonics 123-85. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; SuperSonics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
