After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Kings 117-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Kings are in a full-on tailspin. 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
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
