You can tell something either went extremely right or extremely wrong if the starters don't play in the fourth quarter. Thankfully for the Houston Rockets, everything swung right on Wednesday night.
The Rockets dominated LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers from tip-off to the final buzzer and pushed their winning percentage over .500 for the first time since February 2021. It’s been 1,005 days to be exact.
Perhaps the most impressive stat in this 128-94 victory is that this is the third game in a row that the Rockets have held their opponents to under 100 points.
