After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Rockets 116-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
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.
