After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Kings 135-103. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
