After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Nets 91-84. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
