After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Kings 113-89. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
