After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets fended off the Lakers 104-95. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
