After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Rockets 125-96. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
