After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Rockets 103-71. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
