After Action Report
The Kings took care of the Rockets 99-81. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
