After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Bobcats 121-96. The tempo dragged the Bobcats into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
