After Action Report
The Rockets edged the Kings 106-100. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Rockets; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
