After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets squeaked past the Timberwolves 116-115. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
