After Action Report

The Rockets took care of the Kings 113-94. Every possession went the Rockets way. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
