LeBron James started at center for the Lakers and he and Russell Westbrook each tallied triple-doubles to lead the Lakers to a 132-123 win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, snapping the team’s five-game losing streak in the process.
A new-look lineup saw the insertion of Stanley Johnson and Malik Monk while James got the start at center alongside Westbrook and Avery Bradley. Not surprisingly, the game was an offensive shootout from the start with a quartet of Lakers tallying at least 20 points.
James finished with 32 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds while Westbrook had 24 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in the win.
