After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Rockets 137-120. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
