After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Lakers 131-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
