After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets buried the Lakers 130-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
