After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets rolled past the SuperSonics 127-101. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
