After Action Report

The Rockets pulled away from the Kings 107-97. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
