After Action Report
In Houston, the Lakers demolished the Rockets 127-100. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
