After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Grizzlies 120-89. Rockets' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
