After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets rolled past the Lakers 138-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · 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.
