After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Lakers 119-105. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
