After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets held off the Kings 103-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
