After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Rockets blew the doors off the Kings 135-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
