The Rockets Had Just What It Took to Win; Lakers Didn’t Have It

Thank you, Lakers, for a great season! But let’s give the Houston Rockets credit for a job well done. They beat the Lakers . . . this year. They are the better team . . . for now. They deserved the Western Conference championship. They had the intensity level to win, and the Lakers did not. I wish them my best to beat the Boston Celtics and keep the world championship in the West.
