After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Warriors 137-109. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Warriors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
