After Action Report
In Houston, the Kings took care of the Rockets 116-102. Lineup balance gave the Kings a clear synergy edge. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
