After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Rockets 123-107. Lakers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
