After Action Report
The Warriors demolished the Rockets 121-101. The Warriors got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
