After Action Report
The Rockets downed the Lakers 120-110. Rockets torched the Lakers on the offensive end. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
