After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets edged the Grizzlies 119-112. Rockets' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
