After Action Report

The Kings pulled away from the Rockets 128-118. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
