After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets edged the Kings 102-96. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
