After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Kings 111-101. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
