After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Pacers 115-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
