After Action Report

The Kings snuck past the Rockets 105-101. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
