After Action Report

In Houston, the Kings downed the Rockets 112-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings bench chemistry carried them.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
