After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings ran roughshod over the Rockets 130-110. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
