After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Lakers 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
