After Action Report
The Rockets fended off the Lakers 119-112. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. 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.
