After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Lakers 111-102. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
