After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Rockets 91-88. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
