After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets demolished the Lakers 131-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
