After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets squeaked past the Kings 113-111. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
