After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets rolled past the Pacers 133-113. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
