After Action Report
In Houston, the Warriors rolled past the Rockets 135-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Warriors cashed in. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
