After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings buried the Rockets 133-89. Kings torched the Rockets on the offensive end. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
