After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Rockets 109-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
