After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Lakers 133-131. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
