After Action Report

In Houston, the Kings edged the Rockets 112-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

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.
