After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Rockets 120-95. Lakers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
