After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Grizzlies 122-120. Rockets' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
