After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Kings 110-80. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
