After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets ran roughshod over the Lakers 114-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
