After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Kings 105-99. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
