After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Kings 108-97. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
