After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Cavaliers 125-86. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
