After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Cavaliers 119-116. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
