After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Lakers 123-91. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
