After Action Report

The Lakers handled the Rockets 109-92. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
