To be fair, the Kings fought hard from start to finish. The Rockets led by as much as 11 points at one point in the game, but Sacramento managed to pull through and get their second straight win against a Top 5 team in the Western Conference.
The Kings improved to 10-13 on the season, while the Rockets dropped to 15-8. Sacramento is still looking outside the playoff picture, but they are gaining momentum as the competition intensifies.
Meanwhile, Houston remains one of the top teams in the West despite the latest debacle.
