After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Rockets 125-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
