After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Lakers 109-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers 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.
