After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Nets 131-110. Lineup balance gave the Rockets a clear synergy edge. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
