After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Nets 133-71. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
