After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets outlasted the Cavaliers 121-104. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
