After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings snuck past the Rockets 109-104. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
