After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets snuck past the Kings 112-107. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
