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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
