After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers rolled past the Rockets 125-103. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
