After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Lakers 130-107. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
