After Action Report

The Kings survived the Rockets 98-96. Kings' offense had its way with the Rockets. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
