After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Lakers 122-66. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
