After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Kings 108-96. Rockets' offense had its way with the Kings. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
