After Action Report

In Houston, the Kings pulled away from the Rockets 119-108. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
