After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings ran roughshod over the Rockets 116-88. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
