After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Rockets 127-123. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
