After Action Report
The Lakers fended off the Rockets 111-104. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. 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.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
