After Action Report

In Houston, the Kings demolished the Rockets 117-85. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
