After Action Report
In Houston, the Lakers took care of the Rockets 136-119. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.

- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
