After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Wizards 138-100. Rockets' offense had its way with the Wizards. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
