After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Nets 139-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
