After Action Report

The Kings demolished the Rockets 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
