The Rockets head to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers twice in the next three days. After tonight’s game, the teams meet once again at Staples Center on Tuesday.
For the Lakers, LeBron James is back after right ankle soreness. Against the Cavaliers, he shot 10-22 overall, but 1-10 from deep. The rest of the Lakers shot well collectively and the Lakers won 113-101.
The Lakers feature former Rockets Russell Westbrook, Avery Bradley, Carmelo Anthony, Trevor Ariza, and Dwight Howard. That would have been a pretty good lineup 10 years ago, but these days it’s not particularly terrifying.
