After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Nuggets 118-98. Rockets torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
