After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Rockets 106-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
