    Or not get into foul trouble... I think he should be our point and amen can be the combo guard once he tighten up his handles and become a better passer

    Kings are mid, we're on a b2b missing multiple starters and they shoot out of their mind and still needed the refs to win this.

    Always want to win - but they never gave up and several players played very well at the end of the game - including Jalen Green.

    Amen made two poor turnovers - but it’s even a learning experience for him.

    Overall a positive experience for short staffed Rockets team.

    Rockets were their own worst enemy tonight with so many mistakes but they fought to the bitter end.

    I want every loss to sting and this one certainly fits the bill.

    Now I know why Vegas had the Kings at -4.5. Refs made sure Kings would win.

    Did the Rockets win?

    Did not check the scores yet.

    Oh, that's a shame. Always next game.

    I’m not even mad. The ref made some bs call at the end. This team has really grown. They didn’t give up. Last game they took it personal with the Nuggets. That was the longest final 2 minutes. They made shots after shots. Some lackadaisical passes. I expect that as they are young. Back to back is difficult. The miss free throws were key. On to the next game.
