After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Kings 106-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
