After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets buried the Mavericks 131-105. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
