After Action Report
The Kings buried the Rockets 102-67. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
