After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Kings 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
