After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Kings 103-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
