The Rockets (27-9) won their first game of James Harden's absence and second consecutive overall with a dominant 116-96 victory Wednesday in Orlando.

Our postgame Locked on Rockets recap examines all the key angles, including Chris Paul's excellence as a floor general (13 assists and a plus/minus of +23 in 32 minutes), a bounce-back performance from Clint Capela (21 points, 8 rebounds, +26 in 23 minutes) in his second game back from injury, and another hot night from Gerald Green behind the arc (27 points, 7-of-10 on threes).

The show also touches on the professionalism displayed by Houston in taking care of business early and saving minutes to key players for the second half of the back-to-back on Thursday vs. Golden State.
