After Action Report
The Kings ran roughshod over the Rockets 139-104. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
