After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the Rockets 115-104. Lakers' offense had its way with the Rockets. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
