After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets snuck past the Kings 114-110. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
