After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Kings 101-99. Rockets torched the Kings on the offensive end. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
