After Action Report
In Golden State, the Rockets survived the Warriors 103-99. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
