After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings ran roughshod over the Rockets 118-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
