After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Rockets 138-117. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
