After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets demolished the Kings 136-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

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