After Action Report

The Rockets outlasted the Kings 105-94. Rockets' starting five clicked while the Kings looked disjointed. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
