After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Rockets fended off the Kings 109-101. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
