After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets took care of the Cavaliers 132-120. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
