After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Lakers 133-102. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
