After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Kings 101-98. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
