After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets outlasted the Knicks 120-113. The tempo dragged the Knicks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
