After Action Report
The Rockets knocked off the Lakers 115-104. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
