After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Nuggets 125-104. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
