After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Kings 105-101. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
