After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Lakers 123-102. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
