The Rockets look to beat Kobe Bryant and the Lakers and finally get back to .500.
Since Dwight Howard chose the Rockets over the Lakers in free agency, the Rockets have been the better of the two ballclubs. There's plenty of evidence to support that claim but that's not the point.
The point is that despite Houston having a better team both seasons, the Lakers have taken a game off the Rockets at Toyota Center in both seasons. Both games were close, and both came down to one big play.
In 2013, it was the Steve Blake 3 over Dwight Howard that gave the Rockets a loss.
