After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers rolled past the Rockets 133-107. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
