After Action Report
In Houston, the Lakers blew the doors off the Rockets 133-110. Lakers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
