After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Rockets 107-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Kings are in a full-on tailspin; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
