After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Rockets 148-115. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
