The Houston Rockets started their 2018-19 season a week ago against the New Orleans Pelicans. It did not go as played as the frontcourt duo of Anthony Davis and Nikola Mirotic dominated all night long. The Pelicans wound up beating the Rockets 131-112.
The Rockets then had a few days off before a multi-game road trip to Tinseltown. They first faced the Lakers in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The Rockets won 124-115 in a heated contest that saw three players (Brandon Ingram, Rajon Rondo, and Chris Paul) get ejected for fighting.
