After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Rockets 137-82. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
