After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Lakers 124-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
