After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Rockets 116-99. Lakers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
