After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Lakers 124-95. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
