After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Rockets 136-108. Lakers torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
