After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Rockets 118-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
