After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Lakers 123-113. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
