After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Lakers 123-100. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
