After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Kings 126-119. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
