After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets edged the Wizards 119-110. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
