The Rockets downed the Knicks 122-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
