After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Kings 128-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
