The Houston Rockets thrive on havoc. But Thursday’s game may have erred too much in that direction. The Rockets erased a 16-point deficit in the second half but couldn’t finish the job in a 132-127 loss to the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center.

DeMar DeRozan gave Sacramento the lead for good with 2:20 remaining, De'Aaron Fox made five free throws amid two controversial calls in the final 33 seconds, and the host Kings hung on to defeat the Houston Rockets 132-127 on Thursday night.
