After Action Report
In Houston, the Kings held off the Rockets 103-95. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
