After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Knicks 107-99. The Knicks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
