After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Lakers 107-91. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
