After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Lakers 124-122. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
