After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Lakers 138-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
