After Action Report
The Rockets pulled away from the Lakers 114-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
