After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings pulled away from the Rockets 109-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
