After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Kings 122-118. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
