The Houston Rockets walked into the belly of the beast on Sunday night when stepping inside Staples Center and, in turn, were feasted on by the Lebron James led Los Angeles Lakers.
It’s safe to say that everyone that wasn’t blinded with fan-filled delusion expected L. A to cruise past Houston and weren’t surprised that they did, but what was surprising was just how bad the Rockets looked during spans of that game.
They turned the ball over 27 times, they only knocked down 15-29 of their free throws, and went an abysmal 6-28 from beyond the arc.
