After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Rockets 119-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
