After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Kings 118-117. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
