After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Wizards 117-114. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
