After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the 76ers 123-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
