After Action Report
The Rockets knocked off the Lakers 103-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
