After Action Report
In Houston, the Kings shocked the Rockets 105-80. Every possession went the Kings way. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
