Lakers Battle in Houston But Fall in OT

The Los Angeles Lakers have been difficult to watch with Lonzo Ball out of the lineup, and both they and the Houston Rockets entered New Year’s Eve on 5-game losing streaks. Despite being without Ball, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Brook Lopez, the Lakers mustered up an energetic performance before falling in double overtime, 148-142.

In this installment of Laker Film Room, I take a look at Julius Randle’s big night, Tyler Ennis’ rare outburst, Josh Hart’s career-high, and the Lakers’ pick & roll defense down the stretch.

The goal of Laker Film Room is to provide Lakers fans with consistent, thoughtful content that helps you enjoy the game on a deeper level.
