After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Rockets 123-76. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
