Thursday’s loss against the Lakers is a game the Rockets need to quickly put behind them.
Clint Capela returned and the team played well, leading by as many as 19 points, but LeBron James led the Lakers back in the fourth quarter and Los Angeles won 111-106.
Going into the game, the main story surrounded Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo because of their fight back in October. Paul and Rondo have both moved on from the incident and the Rockets’ stars were more focused on referee Scott Foster after the game.
