After Action Report
The Rockets ran roughshod over the Kings 124-100. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
