After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Kings 131-103. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it
