The last time the Rockets were seen they trudged off the court in Richmond, Va., after blowing a 21-point second-half lead. On Tuesday, they made amends via an authoritative 95-63 beatdown of Marshall, delivering an early knockout to the visitors from West Virginia while refusing to allow the Thundering Herd the slightest hint of a comeback.
