After Action Report

The Rockets snuck past the Kings 104-102. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
