After Action Report

The Rockets squeaked past the Kings 100-97. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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.
