After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Lakers 117-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
