After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets outlasted the Lakers 101-94. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
