After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Rockets 139-108. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
