The Kings ran roughshod over the Rockets 146-100. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
