After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings snuck past the Rockets 109-105. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
