After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets held off the Bucks 120-114. The tempo dragged the Bucks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
