After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Lakers 120-97. Rockets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
