After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Kings 118-78. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
