After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Kings 133-87. Rockets torched the Kings on the offensive end. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
