After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Kings 119-104. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
