After Action Report

The Rockets ran roughshod over the Knicks 119-95. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
