After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Kings 105-103. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
