After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Nuggets 126-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
