LAKE CHARLES, La. - Though most of the Rockets' morning session on the first day of training camp was devoted to video work and drills, with the scrimmage scheduled for Tuesday night, Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni saw enough to cite improved conditioning since last season.

"I think they all look better than they did at this time last year," D'Antoni said. "Everybody's, probably, weight's a little better, a little stronger, especially Clint (Capela.) He's in a good spot. But all of them are in great spots. I think Chris Paul .... worked really hard this summer to get back from the hamstring, but also, hey, you got to play into June. He made a lot of effort. A lot of guys did. They're hungry."
