After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Rockets 96-92. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
