After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Lakers 110-106. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
