After Action Report

In Milwaukee, the Rockets pulled away from the Bucks 111-94. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Bucks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
