After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Kings 112-85. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets are in a full-on tailspin; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
