After Action Report
The Kings held off the Rockets 102-95. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
