After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Lakers 113-90. Rockets torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
