After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets survived the Kings 142-140. Rockets torched the Kings on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
