After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Rockets 103-102 in overtime. Every possession went the Lakers way. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
