The Houston Rockets earned a major bounce-back win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, rebounding from their puzzling loss to the Utah Jazz in the latter half of their first back-to-back of the season.

More than just a pivotal win, the game also represented Steven Adams' return from the third game he has missed this season due to rest/injury, and his impact was immediately apparent as the Rockets, despite a shaky first half, absolutely dominated the Kings en route to a 121-95 victory.
