After Action Report

In a track meet, the Kings held off the Rockets 115-109. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
