After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Rockets demolished the Kings 135-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
