After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Lakers 101-90. Every possession went the Rockets way. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
