After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Kings 131-128 in overtime. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
