After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Kings 106-105. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
