After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Warriors 137-116. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.

- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
