After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Nuggets 131-106. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
