After Action Report

The Rockets edged the Kings 112-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
