After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings demolished the Rockets 120-97. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings steamroller is in full effect right now. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
