After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Rockets 98-97. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
