After Action Report
The Kings downed the Rockets 99-86. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
