In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Kings 110-109. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
