After Action Report
The Rockets survived the SuperSonics 109-105. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
